• [$] Eventual Rust in CPython

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Saturday, December 06, 2025 06:40:08


    Emma Smith and Kirill Podoprigora, two of Python's core developers, have
    opened a
    discussion about including Rust code in CPython, the reference implementation of
    the Python programming language. Initially, Rust would only be used for optional
    extension modules, but they would like to see Rust become a required dependency
    over time. The initial plan was to make Rust required by 2028, but Smith and Podoprigora indefinitely postponed that goal in response to concerns raised in the discussion.
